For New Zealand mechanics

AI for mechanics and auto workshops in New Zealand

A workshop's phone rings while your hands are inside an engine. Every call is either a booking you want or a customer chasing a car you haven't finished — and both cost you the same interruption. Meanwhile the job you're on has just turned up something that needs approval, and the customer isn't answering.

Why this is worth fixing

The other quiet loss is the customer who simply doesn't come back. Their WOF was due in March, nobody reminded them, and they went wherever was convenient. Service reminders are the highest-return, lowest-effort thing a workshop can automate, and almost nobody does it consistently.

What we'd build for mechanics

A starting blueprint for your workshop, assembled from the workflows that fit this trade. It isn't a fixed package — we shape it around how you actually work — but this is the shape it usually takes.

Self-serve booking & reminders

Customers book themselves into real availability, and reminders cut the phone-tag completely.

Now: endless phone-tag to book
With AI: books fill themselves

No-show reduction

Smart reminders and easy rescheduling claw back the appointments that used to just vanish.

Now: empty slots from no-shows
With AI: no-shows down sharply

Lead qualification & routing

Enquiries are qualified, priced-ballparked and routed so you only spend time on the ones worth having.

Now: chasing tyre-kickers
With AI: only real leads reach you

Listing & content drafting

Turn a few bullet points into polished listings, posts or proposals in your own voice.

Now: an hour staring at a blank page
With AI: a first draft in 30 seconds

Proof, not a pitch deck

We didn't just write about this — we built it

Quarvois our own platform, running a real New Zealand business every day: quoting, scheduling, invoicing, bank reconciliation and a full set of accounts, with an AI manager called Torq sitting across the whole thing. It runs on our own GPU hardware in New Zealand — so the data never leaves the country, and there's no per-token bill to a US API.

That's the difference between a consultancy that talks about AI and one that ships it. Everything on this page is something we've actually had to make work in production.

AI for mechanics — common questions

Can it take bookings without me answering the phone?

Yes — customers book against your actual bay availability online or by message, and it confirms and reminds them. You keep the phone for the conversations that need you, and stop losing bookings because you were under a car when it rang.

How does approval for extra work happen?

You find something, you say what it is, and a priced approval goes to the customer by text with a yes/no. It's timestamped, so there's no argument later about what was authorised. Faster approvals mean fewer cars sitting on the hoist waiting.

Will it bring customers back for their next service or WOF?

That's the highest-value automation for a workshop. It knows when each vehicle is next due and reminds the customer at the right time, in your name. It's revenue you've already earned once and are currently leaving on the table.
